Stephen Kessler’s commentary on MAH and Abbott Square was a curious journey through the sunny stairway and the succulent-decorated terrace, ending aptly in the restroom. His deriding of MAH’s exhibits and collection (“the art, such as it is”) lacked any critical nuance and suggested that his $100 membership might be better spent on introducing a young person to the museum. We can look forward, perhaps, to his upcoming book, “Relief: The Best American Museum Bathrooms.”
